Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn combined old and new compositions to create the album Afro-Bossa, a suite consisting of a dozen pieces that was never performed in its entirety in concert, though several of the works remained in the band's repertoire. The title cut is a new work, though the "Bossa" does not refer to Brazilian music; instead, it is a mix of African and Latin influences that slowly builds with insistent percussion to a blazing finale of brass and reeds

TITLE added to MP3 cart. Duke Ellington And His Orchestra. Exclusive Prime pricing. Magical Latin compositions by Duke, magical playing by the orchestra. a bright, lyrical, sparkling, and percussion-infused sound, with a combination of down to earth bass lines, polymetric rhythms, and very advanced harmonies. Every track is a gem. With one exception the title track. Not a bossa but a lame imitation of Bolero, with simple rhythms, and none of the sparkling polyphonic percussion of the other tracks.
